Avoiding single use items that pollute the environment for hundreds or thousands of years is rational whether you want children or not.

Of course using a plastic straw isn't what got us into this mess and small individual choices like that won't save us.

N=1, I work with many pragmatic clojure devs who just want to ship working software.

What can you do if you don't want to block unknown numbers, e.g. you get a call from a hospital about your injured relative, but you have blocked all unknown numbers

Excluding this one sentence in the article

> Software Engineers and Tech co-founders, like us, are more prone to hitting the lows.

I don't see where anyone was comparing software engineering/engineers to another profession. I certainly don't see where it was proclaimed a crisis.

I don't think it's productive to tell people others have it worse when they are promoting a discussion around mental health. I also don't think being well paid and having what appear to be great working conditions preclude you from having mental health issues.

What do you mean by mainline consumer machine? MacBook market share is less than 20%

While I use emacs and I'm not too familiar with other editors I'd question how true this is today, clojure in particular is often written with vscode, intelij and vim, all seem to have good repl support.

In this case your accidentally upgrading your dependencies only when rebuilt. Especially with micro services some things can be ran for years without being rebuilt.

It's not just a specific actor targeting a specific entity though; it's any malicious dependency being ran in a privileged environment.

Everything is political if you view it through this lense.

I don't think that's the important distinction, lots of ongoing costs are outsourced.

Amazon may have their own shipping fleet, most retailers of smaller scale pay someone else to do it for profit.

It isn't entirely independent if a change in your backend can completely break your frontend.

Your using coupling as if it is a dirty word that means you've failed.

That's how nearly every aspect of every business works; would you you start a bakery by learning construction and building it yourself?

But your front end is still coupled to the structure of that JSON, which is often fine, but it is coupling

How can it operate completely independently if the front end requires data in a format it understands to perform logic on.

Usually handled by the framework, you may have to write some code, I'd expect my saas provider to write code so that I know whether their service is available or not.

If your service is returning 5xx, that is the the definition of a server error, of course that is degraded service. Instead we have pointless dashboards that are green an hour after everything is broken.

Returning 4xx on a client error isn't hard and is usually handled largely by your framework of choice.

Your argument is a strawman

You need to validate your inputs and return 4xx

There are simple things it would be nice to do without either 1. A server + framework, 2. A full on SPA, 3. Hand writing tedious js.

There is a nice sweet spot for htmx here; whether it can build the required network effect is another story, and not always reflective of the quality of the idea.

For one thing I may have very simple requirements that I don't want to buy into maybe a day long setup for, nor hand write js when html could support it.

Nowhere did OP suggest limiting tech, they suggested we are not ready to handle the powers we are gaining responsibily.

Your point seems in agreement with this to a degree.

More importantly, you claim it to be a mental health/education issue; yet you can't show me a period of human history without wars and power struggles.
